Unified CLI Utility for AWS, Azure and GCP Instance Control

MCC: Command-Line Instance Control for Top 3 Enterprise Cloud Providers

The Multi-Cloud-Control utility, mcc, is currently in alpha and allows listing basic information from instances on AWS, Azure and GCP in one report with one simple command: mcc.

Planned future enhancements:

• start and stop instances

• connect to instances via ssh

• image / snapshot instances

• change instance configuration (disk, network, HW)

Installation

This utility can be installed with pip:

pip install mcc

Configuration

The first time the utility is executed:

• It creates the config directory {HOME}/.cloud

• It copies the sample config.ini file to the config dir

• Tells the user to add their credential information to config.ini

Notes while editing the config.ini file:

• be careful not to change the names of the keys (titles left of the ‘=’ symbol)

• comment lines may be deleted (those beginning with #)

config.ini sections
